Pace is English in Origin.
Pace blends English and Italian roots. As an English surname-turned-given-name, it stems from a medieval personal name Pace, linked to Middle English peace (from Old French pais) and to the Latin Pax, "peace"; in some records it also reflects Pascha, "Easter," a name given to children born at that feast. In Italian, Pace (PAH-che) is the common noun for "peace" and a longstanding surname, reinforcing the virtue sense.
Used in medieval England and across Italy, Pace appears in parish rolls from the 12th-15th centuries, later traveling to the Americas as a family name and reemerging in the 20th-21st centuries as a sleek, unisex first name. Variants and related forms include Pacey, Paice, Peace, Paicey, and the Italian Pace; cognates include Pax and Paz. The name carries a calm, conciliatory meaning, appealing to parents drawn to virtue names and streamlined modern style.
